My badly-drawn cat hopes you feel better soon. She'd like to meet more badly-drawn friends!

ABC will reinstate Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after suspending it due to his comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The network announced Monday that the show would return on Tuesday.

Definition of RUMBUSTIOUS rambunctious… See the full definition

I ran across an unfamiliar word in my podcast-listening: rumbustious. It means rambunctious. (RUMBUSTIOUS Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/r... )

As my mother would say, "Today has not been a total loss: I have learned something new."

I hear you. Medical issues are making my day suck the chrome off the bumper of a Chevy truck.

My last day of work was on the 10th of this month. I rested/slept most of the next 2 days. Since the 13th, I have been trying to get my and my spouse's retiree health insurance from my former employer. I've spent 15 days jumping through hoop after hoop. I feel like I'm still working full-time.

NO WAR
How can we teach our children that violence will not solve their problems, when our government always turns to violence to solve its problems?

Trump arms Israel against Palestine & bombs Iran.
DHS & federalized officers attack protestors & the press.

Trump is an abject failure.
NO VIOLENCE

Sure, they're *called* cruciferous vegetables, but exactly whose sins did they die for, and when? Nobody can say. Just another case of stolen valor, if you ask me.

Tangentially related: A lot of homeowners here in Dallas routinely challenge their property taxes/home values because they're "outrageously high". (the taxes, not the homeowners) Our neighbors are shocked that we don't. Sorry, but we like having things like trash pickup, libraries, and schools.

I've been seeing political ads for John "just warming a seat" Cornyn on Hulu -- at 1:30 am. so I guess he must be pretty confident of re-election. I'll be happy to ruin his Election Day.

I'm still recovering from knee replacement surgery & I can't do stairs. Can I get an escalator to follow me around?

I usually respond with that. I get a lot of blank looks.
